It's been a while (one and a half year!) since LumeCMS was announced as an alternative to other existing CMS to edit the content of websites.

During this time, the project was improved in many ways: more field formats, more customization options, light/dark mode, etc.

But, like many projects in their earlier phases, LumeCMS was a bit "tricky" to run. It was created as a framework-agnostic solution, but in practice, it wasn't easy to set up for other frameworks than Lume.

Version 0.13 has received a lot of changes in order to address this issue, among others. Some of these changes are BREAKING CHANGES (hopefully they are only a few). And even though it's still a development version (the version starts with v0.* yet), I think it's an important step towards the future v1.0 version.

Vento was born two years ago as an experiment to create a modern, ergonomic, and async-friendly template engine for JavaScript. Initially, it was a Deno-only project, intended to become the default template engine for Lume. But as soon as the NPM package was available, other projects started to use it.

After launching Lume 2 almost a year and a half ago, a new major version of Lume is here!

This version is dedicated to all Galician cantareiras and pandereteiras—women who sing and play the tambourine (or pandeireta), one of the most important instruments in Galician traditional music. One of these cantareiras was Adolfina Casás Rama (1912-2009), an ancestor of my friend Miriam Casás. She worked in agriculture, where she often sang. She was known for her wit and the variety of styles employed.

Thanks to the recollidas, where musicians and musicologists recorded these traditional songs sung by anonymous women, we can now enjoy this musical heritage performed by contemporary musicians with innovative arrangements.

Some examples include Xabier Díaz & Adufeiras de Salitre, Xosé Lois Romero & Aliboria, and Berrogüetto (apologies for the video quality, but I really love that song).

For more disruptive artists, check out Tanxugueiras or Baiuca.
